Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices of cheese
- 2 hamburger buns
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef, 4 slices of cheese, 2 hamburger buns, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of mustard, salt, pepper, and oil for frying.
- In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed without overworking the meat.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the hamburger buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place two patties in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
- Flip the patties and immediately place 2 slices of cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or under a broiler until golden brown.
- Once the patties are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Spread 1/4 cup of mayonnaise evenly on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a tablespoon of ketchup and a tablespoon of mustard on top of the mayonnaise.
- Place one cheesy patty on each bun, then stack the second patty on top of the first to create a double burger.
- Top each double burger with the other half of the toasted bun.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Double Burger Fried Cheese!
Tips
- • Always use fresh ground beef with a fat content around 80/20 for maximum flavor and juiciness • Don't overwork the meat when forming patties to keep them tender • Let the patties rest for a minute after cooking to retain their juicy interior • Use a cast-iron skillet if possible for the best crust and even heat distribution • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or worcestershire sauce to the meat • Make sure your pan is hot before adding patties to achieve that perfect golden-brown crust • Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach a safe internal temperature of 160°F
